Chapman University bloggers featured in BBC shuttle coverage

While most followers of NASA’s space shuttle program watched the final shuttle launch on televisions and computer screens this morning, two Chapman University scholars enjoyed on-the-spot viewing as media members covering the end of the historic program.

Anna Leahy Ph.D., associate professor of English and her husband, Leatherby Libraries associate librarian Douglas Dechow, Ph.D., write Lofty Ambitions, a blog about aerospace, aviation history and related issues. They’re covering the final Atlantis launch and voyage in the space blog and were also featured in a BBC News article titled US shuttle goodbyes: Your stories.
